THE DEMOCRATIC EDITORIAL o ON

VENTION.
The Democratic Editorial Convention of
Indiana, which assembled at Maxinkuckee,
on Wednesday, the Goth inst, was largely
attended, and the proceedings were OF an
interesting character throughout. The well
coming address of Hon. Chas. Kellison of
Marshall County, for three terms in success
sion member of the Legislature, was at
once scholarly and statesmanlike, and won
the admiration of all.
The response of Mr.. w. Scott Ray, of
the Shelbyville Democrat, to the pro-
gramme theme, 'Tell the Truth" has al
ready appeared in the columns of the SEN
tinel. 1t was in all regards Characteristic
of Mr.. Rays political views-was bold, in
cisive, and impressed all who heard it
that the speaker had convictions, and all
the courage required for their expression.
The paper read by Mr.. B. f. Louthain, of
the Logsnsport Pharos, on Civil Service
Reform" was strictly in consonance with
the most advanced views Of reform upon
the subject, and unequivocally Endorsed
the administration of Mr.. Cleveland In all
his efforts 10 administer the civil service
law OF the country.
The address of Mr.. Jas. P. Apologize, of
the New Albany Ledger, on individual
ISM" evinced study and a large compre-
hension of the subject, and secured for the
speaker universal commendation.
Hon. 1. B. Mcdonald, of the Fort Wayne
Gazette, discussed Democratic Workers"
in way that met with the hearty approval
of his audience.
Col. J. r. Maynard's response to whats
the Natter" closed the programme, and
gave his audience opportunity for little
relaxation from the mental strain req uired
to follow the sturdy arguments of those
who had preceded him in the order OF
exercises.
1t must be understood that the ssso-
citation was in no wise responsible for the
utterances of the speakers. They spoke
for the entertainment and edi6cation of
the audience, and no effort was made to
commit the association to any policy what
ever. Gentlemen spoke their individual
views withoutlet or hindrancs, and while
there was in some matters q wide diver
gence, there was at the same time an ex-
preston of sturdy adherence to the policy
of the Democratic party when formulated
by its authorized representatives in con-
vention.
Hon. John B. Stoll, who has been active
in obtaining railroad transportation for
the Democratic editors and their wives,
and whose success in that direction was of
a character to elicit the most hearty ap-
proval, offered the following resolutions,
which were unanimous ly and enthusiastic
